"I'm so fucking anjir."
Mita stomps on Rama's feet.
Although faint, Mr. Mukhtar and Mita still hear the words of Rama.
"Is there a campus policy for sick students?"
"For sick students can be represented by carrying a sick certificate at the specified registration time, sir."
"God Bang, I'm not going to graduate next year."
Hearing Mita's words, Rama relaxed her stiff neck joint. Rama is not his name if he does not try to stop.
"Gini Sir. I know it was my fault My Wife and I for not updating the announcement. We are looking for a win-win solution, because I also may not allow my wife to not graduate. Three years of college, especially during the trial struggle yesterday while pregnant is not easy."
Slowly Rama issued a magic card that he thought could ease any difficulties. Something that's always in her purse and she carries it with her wherever she goes.
"I'm going to the point, because I can't talk. I usually tell people to negotiate. So sorry if it seems rude. I'll pay a late fine, is this enough?"
Mita was shocked as soon as Rama issued two red money mops.
"Bang, what's your brother doing?"
Rama ignored Mita's question. He was never comfortable to do something like this, but today he was forced to do it for Mita.
The same thing if in business, sometimes such a path must be taken. For example, when it comes to licensing, he will send people to negotiate.
Mr. Mukhtar and some of the academic staff were as shocked as Mita. Now Mr. Mukhtar realized that he was talking not with random people.
"I'm sorry I spoke to whose father?"
"I am Rama, Mita's husband."
"Sir Rama, I'm sorry if this makes you uncomfortable. Sorry, we can't accept this either. You can talk directly to our Director, please wait in the lobby sir."
Rama threw his face away. Selling is expensive, Rama thought.
"Where's loby?"
Rama's view leads to Mita.
"There."
Mita pointed to the main entrance of the academic building which was parallel to the academic counter.
"Sir, please bring it again."
Rama did not care about Mr. Mukhtar's call, because his emotions were still high. He immediately left the academic counter towards the main door.
"Pak Mukhtar sorry Rama yes. O Rama is shy."
"Yes this Neng please bring, not good at others."
Mita put the money in her bag. Then after Rama who left him to the lobby.
"That's not what it is. Can't go on strike."
"I said pay the late penalty."
"Same as it is, only the name is refined."
After 10 minutes Pak Mukhtar came to Rama to enter the room of Pak Panji, Director of Academic Affairs.
A cold and quiet atmosphere dominated Pak Panji's room that afternoon.
"Excuse me."
Rama confidently entered the room with Mita beside him.
"Please enter. I think, Fathers, it is still young. Please sit down."
"Thank you, sir."
Mita represents Rama who is not wanting to talk.
"Where are you, Mom, how can I help you?"
While waiting earlier, Mita forced Rama to wash his face and drink. To have his emotions and brain stabilized before talking to his college director.
"I'm Mita's husband, sir. My wife is two days late for graduation. The rules on campus here are rigid, sir?"
Mita pinched Rama's hand behind the table. Although the tone of Rama's speech was not as high as with Mr. Mukhtar earlier, but Rama's speech still sounded impolite in Mita's ears.
"Well, my mom's dad's school seems more flexible."
Mita did not think Rama was good at making up. How did Rama know that Jakun was flexible against delays?
"Mas' parents are lecturers too?"
On target. Rama's fishing was successful. There are times when we need to show who we are.
"Ohh Jakun big family. Is it a Jakun alumnus, too?"
"My Bachelor in Jakun, My Master in US."
Mr. Panji cleared his throat to see the courage of the young man before him. A man who wants to tell the world who he is.
"Well, great. What's the name of his parents sorry, if I may know?"
"Pak Romi and Bu Amalia may have known you."
Rama's emotional level is shrinking due to the relaxed nature of Mr. Panji.
Mr. Panji seemed to remember something.
"Kela Romi where is the tea? I have many friends named Romi." (So: Wait a minute)
"My father dr. Romi Rachman."
"Urang Bandung?"
"Master Sir."
"Ouch ouch. I've lost the phone's heula."
Feeling Mita gets even more unpleasant when Pak Panji contacts someone with his phone.
"Boss Doctor kumaha damang?"
Is it true that the person in front of him now knows his father?
"Okay, tos baraha ten years teu pateupang ieu? Kang Haji is healthy?" (how many decades I haven't seen)
Mita clutched Rama's hand firmly. The thing that was on his mind was happening. Mita and Rama are hearing Mr. Romi's voice.
"Kela, ieu aya saha try in my office? Choose wauh ieu mah." (saha : who, choose: who knows, wauh : know)
The director pointed his camera at Rama.
"Is it Rama?" (Why is there Rama?"
"Tah valid geuning. Fits his ieu tea son na Kang doctor?" (geuning: apparently, son: son)
"Again Ram ?"
"Rama again nganter Mita graduation list. Do you know the Director?"
"Know atuh, CS time SMP." (Cs: chum)
"Tah ieu teh caritana, the Ujang kadieu hoyong graduation list kanggo si Eneng. But the registration of tea tos closes ti dua poe kamari. So tos teu tiasa eta tea. Furthermore, hoyong naur fine money saurna ka the supados si Neng tiasa campus ngiring graduation. Eta teh kumaha, da didieu mah teu aya late fine. Janten max the artos kanggo tea naon Kang Doctor? Miss Abi hoyong bright."
(The story, the Ujang here wants to list for the Eneng. Registration closed two days ago. So I can't. Furthermore, want to pay the fine money he said to the campus so that the Eneng can join the graduation. This is how it is, because here there are no late fines. So what does the money mean for Doctor Kang? Try me to know.)
Rama was wrong to listen to Mr. Panji's complaint to his father over the incident.
"Wow, don't be shy Papa. Never did Papa teach you that you're rich."
"Emotions Pah. Mita has been hard to go to college, her graduation period is delayed? Papa himself who brought the obstetrician to the apartment to check and told bedrest? He was crying-nangis called me can not take the graduation. Yes I'm emotional."
Mr. Panji nodded small.
"That's Kang Doctor's heula. Kin Abi call deui." (So it used to be Doctor Kang. I'll call again.)
"Mango, mango. Kang's hapunten, have nohun."
Mr. Panji shoved his phone back on his desk.
"Try if it was directly here, let alone his son Kang Doctor I certainly help without having to spend money and rames in academics. Where's the money now? Still in academia?"
"There's in me, sir. Mr. Mukhtar asked to bring the money."
"So the unit is not stiff. But we don't want to because of one person, so impress to the other students that it's not too late. Finally tomorrow more and more are late. The more difficult academic work."
"So clear yes this campus is clean from bribes. Later the file of the Eneng I bring myself to the Central Rectorate."
Ruma's face changed instantly. This time he was embarrassed.
"I'm sorry for the noise, sir."
Rama finally softened, realizing his mistake.
"With nothing, the mango file his love to Mr. Mukhtar let in the academic process first to be stamped and others."
"I'm graduating next year, sir."
Mood Mita is gone, she doesn't want graduation.
Rama's face changed immediately in annoyance. After his embarrassment he put off earlier until bribe, now not so?
